Global traditional/conventional microbiology testing market: Traditional/conventional microbiology tests are low cost and easy to use compared with POC testing devices. Various types of immunodiagnostics tests such as radioimmunoassay, immunofluorescent test, and immunoelectrophoresis contribute majorly to the market growth.  Many companies are using advanced technologies to develop innovative products and enter the market, and thereby intensifying market competition.

All market players are investing in R&D in the field of immunodiagnostics. For instance, DiaSorin, a prominent vendor in the market offers various kinds of immunodiagnostics and molecular diagnostics products,” says Barath Palada, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on in-vitro diagnostics.

Global rapid (POC) microbiology testing market: POCT diagnostics are used to perform tests outside the laboratory. They help cut reduce the number of steps in data analysis and sample collection, thereby minimizing the process time, transportation as well as data processing delays and in-patient stays. These devices are ideal for use even during emergency conditions such as war fields.

Global molecular diagnostics microbiology testing market: Molecular diagnostics is a technique that analyzes biological markers in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). Molecular diagnostic techniques such as hybridization, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing and next generation sequencing, and mass spectroscopy are most commonly used for the detection of microbes. This type of diagnostics is used for virology; blood screening; microbiology testing; and for personal healthcare that includes women’s health, and sexually transmitted infections (STI); and other viral or bacterial infections.

The top vendors operating in the global microbiology testing market are:

  • Becton
  • Dickinson and Company
  • bioMérieux
  • Bio-Rad Laboratories
  • Danaher
  • Thermo Fisher Scientific

Other prominent vendors in the market include A. Menarini Diagnostics, Abaxis, Abbott Diagnostics, Alcon Laboratories, Alere, Avioq, Biomerica, Cavidi, Cepheid, Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Clarity Diagnostics, Coris BioConcept, DiagCor, Diamedix, DiaSorin, Eiken Chemical, EMD Millipore, Enzo Biochem, Epitope Diagnostics, Fujirebio Diagnostics, Gold Standard Diagnostics, Grifols, Helena Laboratories, Hologic, Humor Diagnostica, Immunetics, InBios International, Landwind Medical, Maxim Biomedical, Meridian Bioscience, Mindray, Mobidiag, Nanogen/Elitech, Nipro Diagnostics, OraSure Technologies, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, Qiagen, Quest Diagnostics, Quidel, Randox Laboratories, R-Biopharm, Roche Diagnostics, SeraCare, Siemens Healthcare, Trinity Biotech, Trivitron Healthcare.
